Biography
Samia Lakhdari was born in French North Africa to a Sunni Muslim Berber famiy, and she had a youthful and beautiful appearance. In 1956, she joined the Algerian FLN during the independence struggle against France, and she met with Saadi Yacef in September 1956 to plan out a wave of bombings in Algiers. Lakhdari was sent to target the Milk Bar cafeteria, a venue frequented by French students as they left school. She flirted with a French Army soldier who asked her if she was going to the beach, teasing him and telling him that she was meeting friends there. Lakhdari entered the milk bar as the other students danced, and she slipped her bag under a stool at the counter before sliding through the crowd and leaving. The September 1956 Algiers bombings killed a total of 3 and wounded 50, and Lakhdari's bombing of the milk bar and Zohra Drif's bombing of the cafe on the Rue Michelet succeeded. Little is know about Lakhdari after the attacks.
